Abstract:

 Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) primary battery, consisting of a sulfur positive and a Li-metal negative electrodes, can be one of the promising primary battery system for its high energy density, long life, good security and low cost. Unlike the Li-S secondary battery facing poor cyclic life and serious self-discharge problems, Li-S primary battery has great application potential in consumer electronics power supplies, UPS and power supplies. From the view of practical application, this article introduced the research status and future development prospect of Li-S primary batteries, and further appealed for extensive attention to this field.
